Google Wants Robots On The Moon
I always thought Google was part of the robot conspiracy and now we have proof: The search engine giant is offering a $30 million prize to the first person to blast a robot to the moon. Heck, it only took $10 million to convince Burt Rutan to send his buddy Mike Melvill up in that balsa wood “rocket” to claim the Ansari X Prize; for $30 million Google is going to get a whole robot invasion of the moon.
Think about it, no life support system is needed, no safety precautions to preserve the life an astronaut, this is going to be cheap and easy. I bet with a couple weeks worth of pizza and beer money and a few spare weekends, those geniuses up at Carnegie Mellon could put together a rocket to send a robot to the moon. MIT? They probably already have one behind the frat house. Stanford? Christ, they’ll probably launch a whole armada of missiles against the moon.
But what is the ultimate goal here? Colonization, of course. They first get all these little robots up to the moon before NASA is ready to go back in 2020, then all those little robots start making bigger robots. By the time you know it, the robots are ready to launch their invasion of the Earth from their moon colony, and then we’re screwed.
Thanks Google. Really appreciate it.
